My Students

I’m a speech therapist at an elementary school. The student population is a mix of Asian and Hispanic children. Many of them come from low socioeconomic backgrounds and many are satellite babies. My students often don’t have a lot of exposure to the outside world. Their parents work hard and don’t have time to take them to places. Their vocabulary is limited. My job is to help with their expressive and receptive language skills. These are very respectful and hard-working children who deserve the best we can offer.

My Project

As a speech therapist, I do not have textbooks to teach from. Rather, I rely on materials that I create myself and print, or materials from teacherspayteachers.com. Having a working printer in my room is not a luxury, but a necessity. Unfortunately, my printer is on the fritz, and my school does not have the budget to buy a new one. I share my printer with 4 other speech therapists, so we really really need a reliable printer in order to do our jobs effectively.

Please help me buy a printer and ink, as the DOE will not provide ink for a printer that is not their property.

Thanks for your help!
